Chapter 202: Restless
"Do you know how you look right now? Do you want to know?" He asked, unable to restrain his smile from deepening even further. She paused her actions and looked at him curiously. Her eyes were still filled with anxiousness and worry.
"You look like a wife scolding her husband because he has hurt himself and she is worried." Jiang Xingyu felt proud saying such words to her.
She froze, all the worry vanishing from her eyes. She wanted to retaliate but she couldn’t. He was right. A wife would definitely worriedly grab ice cubes or a band aid if her husband got hurt. She annoyedly let go of his hand and threw the ice cubes into the trash bin. "Stop sounding like I’m worried about you. Why would I be worried over you? It was just out of instinct that I..."
She stopped, realizing that her words were not making anything better. Saying that she did it out of instinct was just the same as admitting that she cared about him deep down. Throwing him a "I would do it for anyone", she began cooking.
Jiang Xingyu looked at her back then back at his finger. Happiness filled his heart even though he had been ignored.
At the door, Madam Jiang smiled in satisfaction and slipped away. Hearing Jiang Xingyu’s yelp, she had worriedly rushed over. But when she reached the door of the kitchen, she was met with such an affectionate scene instead. Luna was actually worried about her son!
She held a hand over her chest in bliss. Never had she thought that she would one day be so happy about her own son getting hurt. Even when Jiang Xingyu got ignored, she still smiled through it. It must be because Luna was going through a hard time that she wasn’t willing to open her heart up to anyone. She only needed time. Once she realized that she actually cared about Xingyu, she would give him a chance.
Realizing that she had been watching their cute cold war for quite some time, she went back to the living room.
By the time Xia Luna realized it, she had prepared at table full of dishes. They all started eating it in delight.
"Luna, you’re a better cook than me." Madam Jiang exclaimed after just a taste. Jiang Xingyu would be lucky to eat food prepared by her often.
Xia Luna smiled modestly. "Aunty, you are too kind. You’re the best cook ever."
